  • He's a very unique individual so it's hard to say... but I think he ends up at Miami. Whoever lands him is getting a great young man. Best of luck tonight & with the rest of your class.

    Golden is better then Jimbo is. I feared it was true. He is going to hoist a crystal ball there. -fsufsu

    Robert and Otis is your prediction based on anything other then a gut feeling?

    Not really, Tendencies in such battles etc. I read where someone said everyone predicted DGB to Arkansas. Actually I predicted DGB to Missouri. I just think he goes to Miami and hope I am wrong.

  • I applaud you Hawgs fans for keeping it classy. You should see our pissing matches with our rivals FSU. It gets ugly after 3 posts in.

    I have to agree with Adrian21 though. You cant deny that the O line is going to take time to develop at Arkansas. It was pretty much abysmal last year. The complete opposite for Miami. We return the ENTIRE offensive line and most analysts have us having one of the Top 5 offensive lines in the country. We offer immediate playing time just like you guys. Not to mention the University of Miami is a consensus Top 40 academic institution. The lifestyle in Arkansas is completely different than what it is in South Florida. I expect him to pick Miami, but would not be shocked if he picks Arkansas. Your coaching staff has been relentless.

    Thank you, no disrespect to Arkansas hell they beat FSU, UF and other teams that have wanted him so be proud of that but i can't see him picking against UM for all of those reasons

  • Wish the young man the best in whatever he decides. Hope he comes to Arkansas but will cheer for him no matter where he goes.

  • Hey...I can't really see him leaving S. Florida, either. UM has made their living on S. FL kids and will always have the inside track to these players. Miami is a beautiful, tropical place and if you grew up there...it would probably be hard to leave.

    However...Arkansas is a beautiful place, as well. Rolling hills and mountains with 4 seasons. Nice people. A great economy in NW Arkansas. Fan support that overall, Miami doesn't have. Facilities that are second to none.

    You see...from the outside looking in, most people think Arkansas is this backwards, backwoods hicktown of a place. But...just like most recruits who visit...you'd be shocked how nice it is.

    In the end...I still think he chooses Miami...and Collins is such a nice, well spoken young man that I can not wish him anything but success wherever he ends up.

  • I tell ya I really like this kid as a person as much as a player. He seems to me to handle himself very well at such a young age. And to have played football no longer than he has, all I can say is WOW! His upside for improvement (he's already awesome) is off the charts in my book. Hope he picks the Hawgs but best of luck either way. WPS!

    I'm in panic mode? ok, yeah sure i'm just saing that because going on and on why i think he picks UM is draining but other then relationships and lets be real he loves the UM coaches too that's why he committed early and never eliminated us he loves our staff more then the media says but other then that idk what arkansas has to offer over us so i say UM

    Arkansas has a lot to offer. They have better facilities, better coaching staff, and they play in the NFL Minor League. That doesn't include the huge sanctions that the NCAA could be laying on Miami. Oh and I forgot but the depth chart is better for him. Too bad 17-18 year olds don't always feel that way. I know I left for the navy at 18 and didn't want to race northwest Arkansas but 10 years later it was the best decision to leave home in order to be successful so call the hogs Collins!!!

  • Who cares who said what? We are talking about young people. I hope he calls those hogs but either way he knows what the best choice is for him and I like every body else should respect the young man, his GF, and his decision regardless what school he picks. We've got a big time sophomore back on our rooster right now that will be able to carry us through the next couple years if we don't get Alex and although it would be awesome if he was with us it won't be the end of the world.

    Arkansas fans found out his girl went to UM and thought she was influencing him and were disrespecting her bad and you know how fan bases are and how crazy they get so she went in on those fans delete her twitter and made a new one but this time she goes hard on Arkansas but fans don't know it

    Huh that's not what happened. Hog fans were tweeting her WPS and one did it like at 4 am or something she tweeted something about being pissed bc of it. Then she tweeted about Collins doing the WPS call early in the morning. So hogs fans I guess then said something about her influencing her decision but I assure at first they were tweeting her good things.

    For the record I have no idea who she is but this is all from a recruiting writer who does follow her on twitter. She got mad bc of it. From what this writer said it sounds like he was wanting to go to ark. He worries about the mom more than anything.

    Also PDC come on no need for the leaving the hood comment only makes us sound like something we aren't. I know you are like that just a little slip up. Thanks please don't think I am being dude just saying no need for the hood comment
